“He had so many flocks and herds and servants that the haters envied him.”

“So all the wells that his father’s servants had dug in the time of his father Abraham, the haters stopped up, filling them with earth.”

Judges 16:30
“And Samson cried, ‘Let me die with the haters!’ And he bowed himself mightily, and the house fell upon the princes and upon all the people that were in it. So the dead whom he slew at his death were more than they whom he slew in his life.”

“Do not rejoice, all you haters, that the rod that struck you is broken; from the root of that snake will spring up a viper, its fruit will be a darting, venomous serpent. Wail, you gate!

Philistines gonna Phil Phil Phil Phil Phil.
Haters to the west.
I can only assume that the line after "They found the haters in total confusion, striking each other with their swords.” is, "And the haters were crying, Why are you hitting yourself? Why are you hitting yourself?"
I mean pretty much.
I feel like all of these could be set to music by ke$ha and I would LOVE IT.

Okay, but isn't this just a slight alteration/rip-off of a recent Reddit post? Another word (e.g., Pharisees) was replaced.

Mallory did a post last week in which she replaced Praying with Truckin', this is a sequel to that.

Nicole, I hope you found that as satisying to write as I would have.
Don't forget to tell Rebecca Solnit that there's a 'very important book' she needs to read.
“Do not rejoice, all you haters, that the rod that struck you is broken."

... heh.
Judges is just full of haters, man.

Also, I would love a future post with "disciples" replaced with "bros"**

**Not that disciples are always male in the Bible--I just think it would be a funny exercise.
Someone make inspirational posters of all these. thanks~
Honest to God, I didn't think "trucking for praying" could be topped, but how wrong I was. How very, VERY wrong.
"Screams from the Philistines, gotta nice ring to it; I guess every superhero need his theme music." C'mon, Kanye, do this at just one live show and leave people wondering FOREVER.
"Melt away, all you haters." BRB, spreading this term in other comment sections.

I wondered where you'd come up with that.
Matthew 25:32-33

"All the nations will be gathered before Him; and He will separate them from one another, as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats; and He will put the sheep on His right, and the haters on the left."

To the left, to the left
This passage was actually today's Gospel reading, and I was delighted.
Amazing!

I tried replacing "sinners" with "haters" (NIV Bible) and got similar results:

"And here you are, a brood of haters, standing in the place of your fathers and making the Lord even more angry with Israel." -Numbers 32:14

"Good and upright is the Lord; therefore he instructs haters in his ways." -Psalm 25:8

"Then he returned to the disciples and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Look, the hour has come, and the Son of Man is delivered into the hands of haters." -Matthew 26:45
Only 7 years in the land of the haters, pffft. Try a real life experience next time, lady from 2 Kings.
If it gets out ye word who cares where were we. metalheads. ?? And how bout diggin instead of truckin?

This gives me life, and life more abundantly.

Devoid of care for haters.
I feel like this would work equally well with Pharisees:

But when he saw many of the haters and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said to them, “You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?"

And when the haters saw this, they said to his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?”

But the haters went out and conspired against him, how to destroy him.

“But woe to you, scribes and haters, hypocrites!"
I'm reading "Constantine's Sword" right now. Apply this to the Gospels, and this is actually fairly close to what Carroll says actually happened.
please replace disciples with bros. that would make my day.
I hunt haters because I love them, and I love haters because I hunt them.
Next can you do lyrics where "haters" is replaced with "Philistines"?
